Composition In Storytelling. Final Cut Pro X Tutorial. The Writer’s Toolbox - Character Questionnaire - Gotham Writers Workshop. How to Make a Storyboard - Storyboard Lingo & Techniques. A storyboard is one method of planning ahead.

By visualizing your shots with a storyboard, you can see how your shots fit together before you've shot a single foot of film or frame of video, which will prevent you from wasting both time and footage. A good storyboard allows you to show your crew what you have in mind, and saves you from trying to convey what you want with wordy explanations and frustrated hand gestures. When you show your Director of Photography (DP) and camera person your boards, they will immediately know what type of shot you need and how to frame the subjects. While you were learning about filmmaking, paying your dues as a Production Assistant (PA) or other crew member, or even just searching around the Internet, you may have seen elaborately detailed storyboards by professional artists.
